Meet Duy! Duy is a proud Camp Everytown alumnus. As he reflects back on his Camp Everytown experience, he states:
"I was, for the most part, disempowered. That however, all changed when I experienced my first Camp. I became exposed to a new way of thinking, opening my mind and my heart to the concept that we are all one. For the first time, race, ethnicity, what people wore, or how they looked didn't matter, for I learned that everyone has a voice. And, I learned that in order for me to better my future I had to change who I was and my thought process. Thanks to Camp, I did change for the better."
Since graduating from high school, Duy has continued his involvement with the program as a camp facilitator and is now:
“…proud to say that I am married and have a bi-racial daughter to whom I plan to pass on my open mindedness, compassion, and acceptance of others."
Your support has helped us to change the lives of people like Duy. Because of you, we are building a community with more empathy and less prejudice. Thank YOU!!
